From my understanding it's always been accepted tradition in Australia that the original name can't be changed, whether the first ascent was aided or not. The tradition is different in the UK, which is usually why it's been UK climbers freeing routes here who have tried to rename routes ie Andy Pollitt and Pegasus/Sheffield Steel or Paul Smith and Whistling Kite/Crack of Dawn.

I didn't realise that Lemonade Wall was Project Wall, but when we are putting out the next edition of the bouldering guide we are not going to rename the wall or boulder problems because it was once a place to practice aid climbing, we might add a mention of it's shady history though.
